A Forest Retreat Built Into the Land. A gentle pause from the pace of everyday life. 

❋ Rooted in Place

Tucked between meadow and maple forest in Roxbury, NY. Open sky. Tall trees. Seasonal light. Spaced for privacy and quiet.

❋ A Slower Rhythm

Morning coffee in the sun. Forest walks. Open air cooking. Sauna heat, cold plunge, firelight, dark skies. No schedule, just the natural pace of being outside.

❋ Off-Grid, By Design

Minimal solar electricity. No cars at the camps.
A short walk in that shifts you out of noise and into stillness. It’s about returning to what feels real.

❋ A Living Ecosystem We Care For Daily

We practice low-impact development, tend meadow and forest, and operate with deep respect for the watershed we’re part of.

Bellfire is for guests who crave quiet, beauty, and nature.

  • “A Magical Stay at the Cosmic Nomad. Our time at Bellfire was pure magic. Tucked in nature’s stillness, the cozy wagon felt like a portal to another world—peaceful, whimsical, and grounding.”

    -Solansh

  • “I travelled solo to Bellfire for the first time 4 years ago, and I’ve returned at least twice a year every year since. Mina and Rich (two of the LOVELIEST people I have ever met!) have cultivated what I can only describe as pure magic here at Bellfire.”

    - Michelle

  • “Bellfire has become a tradition for me and my husband, we return every year & it never disappoints. Each stay feels just as magical as the first."

    - Chechi

  • “I can’t say enough about this place. Such a unique and special experience! It’s the perfect way to unplug and unwind. Bellfire is absolutely gorgeous, and the accommodations are lovely and so quaint."

    - Jessica

  • “Me and my girlfriend absolutely adored the grounds, and the views were utterly stunning. The Birdhouse was everything we were hoping for and more. It was the very definition of cozy and comfortable.”

Built by Artists. Shaped by Landscape.

Cabins and canvas camps.
Woven willow fences.
Meandering paths.
Sun decks, sauna, cold plunge.
A kitchen garden and small store.

All designed and built by us, slowly, over time — using locally sourced and upcycled materials whenever possible and building lightly within the landscape.

Small by design.
Shaped by care, not expansion.

Come Back to the Quiet

An off-grid forest retreat shaped by meadow, sky, and stillness.
